Hi Johnnyrotten
It is possible. We put a 40 sq. m timber framed extension onto a block house about 4 years ago. The frame will have to made on site as the prefabricated manufacturers are only interested in doing full houses - its not worth their while setting up a jig for an extension.
Worked out slightly cheaper than doing a traditional block wall.
